I am relatively new to raising backyard meat rabbits. My oldest buck (1 1/2 y.o) has ear mites and swollen genitals. I have two other bucks and three does (because my family keeps naming bunnies before I can do the deed). No one else is showing any signs of any issues at this time.
I am treating the mite issue and they are clearing just fine. I gave my buck a butt bath yesterday because he was dirty and swollen. He seems more lively today. Am I worried for no reason about the swelling? Is this normal in mature bucks? He is about 3 times larger than he has ever been. He does not exhibit any symptoms of being in any pain. I showed him to a cowboy who used to raise rabbits and he said he's never seen anything like that in anything other than his stud horse. I have no idea what to do with that info.
Your feedback is appreciated.
